Chronic fatigue syndrome[edit | edit source]
Numerous studies of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have found evidence of reduced natural killer cell function.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Some studies have showed natural killer cell function correlates with illness severity.[7] One study found increased differentiation in NK cells.[8] Inconsistency in laboratory preparation and analysis have made it difficult to compare results between laboratories or use NK function as a consistent biomarker.[9]
Modulating NK function[edit | edit source]
Probiotics[edit | edit source]
Some probiotics have been shown to increase NK function, including Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001,[10] Bifidobacterium lactis HN019[11][12] and Lactobacillus casei Shirota[13][14][15]
AHCC[edit | edit source]
In animal models, Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC) has been show to increase NK activity.[16]. Other studies have found no significant increase in NK function.[17]
Stress[edit | edit source]
There is evidence in humans and animal models that psychological stress[18][19] and physical stress, for example surgery,[20][21][22] decreases NK function and promotes tumor development and metastasis.[23][24][25] Mindfulness based meditation or stress reduction may increase natural killer cell function.[26]
Smoking[edit | edit source]
Smoking decreases natural killer cell function.[27]
